Tlir Crops, We clip the following from the New Orleans Ricfttfitne, of the 19th in? stant. Another factorage house gives ns the reading of a letter fruin its agent at Shreveport, one ot* the most im? portant receiving points in the inte? rior. The office of this agent is lo give thom the truth as to the state of the crops, ami to generally promote their interests. He says: "Between the drouth, rain ?ind caterpillar, our crop of cotton will be very short, and I do not think we will ship from our port over 80,001? bales, against 100,000 last year and 9,000 in 1800. Believe me, 1 am not croaking, but I give you facts and I have thom from all parts of the country. The rains that we have had since my return from Texas have been so general and heavy that all the squares full off, ami the late cot? ton has, in many eases, rotted. Should the rain clear np, and we have a late fall, we may clo a little Lefter." A letter to the same house, fro iii Bayou (ionia, (Parish of lberville,) says, under date of 13th inst. : "For more than a week past rain has continued to fall upon ns daily, flooding the country. We hear from ??very one the serious damage done to the cotton. The rot is extending higher up the stalk than i have ever seen before. I doubt that if more than half a crop eau bo made. The caterpillar is also at work, but is not so disastrous to the crop as the con? tinued cloudy weather ami the total absence of sun. "The corn is doing well, and this weather is favorable to it. My corn will improve about as much as 1 lose on tho coition. I hope J shall never be called" upon to plant cotton again in this i '.irish." A New Orleans letter reports the appearance ol' th?y regular army worm in different sections of the State, iu addition to the depredations of which incessant rains had prevailed for nearly two weeks, doing serious damage to the cotton crop on the uplands. "The rain," .says the writer, "slops the opening of the cotton, and mildews and spoils that which is already open." From Mis? sissippi, thc letter states, thc accounts are equally unfavorable, and one-fifth of the crop is now generally acknow? ledged to be :is much as will be realized. The result is most disheart? en i ag to the planters, who have boen living the past year ou the strength of the crop, which they now find a serious failure, and themselves further in debt. (J?rn and potatoes have done better. Sugar cane is doing well, despite tho rain, which fortu? nately does not injure it. A despatch from New Orleans says: News from the cotton regions con? tinues to report, the injury to the crops as ?crions and wide-spread. Only the .small district on the up? lands of the Mississippi seems ex ctn pt. Otherwise the States of Louisiana and Mississippi are afflicted with * nearly a total loss of the cotton crop, while very little corn or other bread stuffs have been raised. This is peculiarly tho case where negroes have worked on shares, which leads Hiern now to be very reluctant to labor, and has greatly dishearten t il them. . * Tur. Poi,mi AI, RroT AT PLATTE CITV, MISSOI KI. A special (radical) despatch from St. Joseph says: An eye-witness of the adair at Platte City, Missouri, on Saturday, states that the conduct of the rebels, the arms they .carried, and their large numbers, leaves no doubt that they came into town to break up the radi? cal County Convention. Four men were killed, and three or four others will probably die. About ono dozen were wounded. Tho affair creates a profound sensation, and serious trouble-is apprehended. CHOPS IN ?AMJINCSTON.-Thc Sonth einer, of Friday last, says: The cotton is opening fast and is j 1 ?oin"; rapidly gathered and prepared for market. Many huies would now be on their way to market, but for the impossibility existing ut present <>f paying thc tux. and obtaining;t permit for shipment. The owners, disup pointed in their reasonable expecta? tions, ure, of ?.ourse, in n?> very pleasant ur loyal frames ol mind. Th rust has seriously injured many tine fields of cotton and diminished considerably the yield from lite District. Stealing from the fields is on the increase, ('ora especially has ti> be closely watched. ENGLISH RADICALS. It. is a great comfort (misery loving company) to know that there is another country on earth cursed like ourselves with "radicals." The radicals ul* England are growing daily more menacing and demonstrative. liocentlj', they made a very excited aud serions de? monstration in Loudon in denuncia? tion of ex-Governor Eyre and his rule in Jamaica during the late negro revolt. They burned Mr. Ryro in effigy, crying ont that "they wished they could do the same in the Mesh with all his aristocratic supporters, men who never earned two pence in their lives." -* . Cardinal ('nilen indicated very plainly that thc Pope w ill [eave the Eternal City, on tim solution of Ihe Kornau question by the removal of the Eren ch troops. Louis Napoleon Vi Italian diplomacy linds but little favor in the eyes ol'his Eminence. In? deed, it is hinted by un Ultramon? tane organ, that Iiis Holiness would be more safe and "free" in Malla a sort of ecclesiastical blow at Catholic Franco under Bonaparte rule. B.\I> PROSI'RCT ron HARVEST IN CANADA.- A Moni real despatch of the l-l th instant says: "We have had torrents of rain to-day. Hay and grain have boon lying for weelas on the ground. Not half of the crops have been saved All promised to be splendid some time ago; bul. thc extraordinary wet season has destroy? ed every prospect. There, will bc dreadful suffering this year in Lowei Canada. HOKKID DEATH OF A IIAOHAI.. One of the convicts of the Westen: (Pa.)
